Plato wanted philosophy to be more than an academic exercise, he wanted it to change the world. Plato's THE REPUBLIC is the ancestor of all modern utopias – a continuing inspiration for those offended by the chaos, ugliness and irrationality of our world. Inside this beautifully-crafted jar, is a candle whose subtly blended fragrance helps to evoke the perfect world described by Plato, a realm of reason, calm and order. Lighting the candle creates a moment in which we are able to reframe, and gain perspective over, some of the problems of our world today.
